While this announcement is over four years old, today’s news might revive the idea. A buddy of mine suggests that Tsawwassen First Nation as another potential partner. #horseracing 🏇🏻

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Wait'll this guy finds out that the first biography of Gassy Jack was written by one of the co-author's of "The Peter Principle" and @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social's mother.
Was just thrown completely out of my writing groove by research.

I needed to know when Vancouver was founded…

And I discovered that it was originally called Gastown. Because the guy that owned the biggest mill in the small settlement was called Gassy Jack.

FIFA invited 1 sports legend and 3 “I don’t know what” as draw assistants at the #FIFAWorldCup draw! 🤩

- Shaq: He’s the man. Legend.
- Tom Brady: Overrated
- Judge: Overpaid
- Gretzky: Maga Traitor to Canada (Should have invited Christine Sinclair). A true Canadian and the real G.O.A.T.

Moving on.

Big news in Vancouver: Hastings Racecourse has announced it is permanently ending operations at the venerable racetrack, after the province pulled the revenue it gets from the slot machines on site.

A lot of moving parts to a very valuable piece of land in the city.

Canada has a stake calling out Pete Hegseth's murder on the seas.
In June 1918 the hospital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk. The U boat murdered survivors in the water including 14 Canadian nurses.
Canada never forgot or forgave.
We have prosecuted war crimes ever since. Sucks to be you Pete.
